Tim PeakeMajor Tim Peake CMG - Historic British ESA Astronaut and Explorer

Major Tim Peake CMG is a pioneering figure in aviation and space exploration, recognised as the first British astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA) to live and work on the International Space Station. A former officer in the Army Air Corps and an accomplished test pilot with over 3,000 flying hours, he was selected from 9,000 candidates for his historic mission. During the 173-day Principia mission, he conducted more than 250 scientific experiments, performed a critical spacewalk to maintain the station power systems, and engaged with millions of students through live educational broadcasts. Following a highly decorated career, he transitioned from the active astronaut corps to an ambassadorial role and recently announced his intention to command the first all-British mission to space. Off the planet, he has also distinguished himself as a best-selling author of titles such as Space: The Human Story and Ask an Astronaut, which explore the technical and human dimensions of life in orbit. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Flight Dynamics and Evaluation from the University of Portsmouth and remains a central figure in promoting STEM education across the United Kingdom. On the keynote stage, Tim translates the extreme challenges of spaceflight into universal lessons on leadership, risk management, and the concept of followership. He offers a unique perspective on maintaining peak performance and effective communication within high-pressure environments. Audiences book him for his ability to blend awe-inspiring anecdotes with professional strategies for navigating complex, fast-changing landscapes.
